I often receive requests for guide recommendations for the Little Bighorn. I recently received one, asking for a guide to the major battlefields, including Fetterman, Wounded Knee, Rosebud, etc. The gentleman is a professional tour guide and could potentially bring a lot of business to those areas. If you know of anyone who provides a guided tour service in the Indian Wars areas, please post the information here or write to me.
Thanks, Diane

Diane,
Being my own tour guide is my preference, having conquered many far-off cities and sites. If I were to tour the major battlefields of the Plains, I would rent a car and take along Paul Hedren's "Traveler's Guide to the Great Sioux War: The Battlefields, Forts, and Sites of America's Greatest Indian War" or "Travel Guide to the Plains Indian Wars", by Stan Hoig, along with my GPS.
I'm actually surprised that I couldn't find a personal guide on Google -- I would have thought that they exist. Now I'm wondering why this isn't a service offered by local natives who know the history and geography! (Or, maybe it is.) I was reminded of personal guides for hire at other places (e.g. Gettysburg battlefield.)
I would think that a few calls to the authors or reservation tribal offices might result in a connection with an eager guide!

Oh, good! I was hoping you would offer and, yes, he expects to pay.
Is it OK if I give him your email address?
